2005 Hijos de Antonio Polo Ribera del Duero Joven Roble Pagos de PeñafielTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
11/27/2014 - Bunbury Likes this wine: 94 pointsThanksgiving 2014. Amazing depth of flavors, currants, blackberries and a hint of cranberry and vanilla. Nose is delightful dark fruits, oak. Tannins are soft as velvet. Color retention is strong for its age, and this is drinking perfectly now, but will be for some time. Wonderful wine. |

1/1/2013 - Bunbury Likes this wine: 91 pointsBest Zin I've had in some time. Spicy and peppery, but very balanced with lush tannins and plenty of ripe black fruit. |

12/20/2012 - Bunbury Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally enjoy this zin, tasted twice with consistent impressions. Dark very ripe fruit with very noticeable white pepper nuances. This is a very well oaked zin, so consider that if you are not a fan of that style. |

2006 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |

1998 Dow Porto Vintage Quinta da Senhora da RibeiraPort Blend more |
11/4/2009 - Bunbury wrote: 89 pointsDrunk over a period of about three months. It doesn't have the power and fruit I'd expect from a top vintage port, and drinks more like a very good LBV. The fruit is masked by the alcohol to some extent, and the depth of flavors isn't on par with better vintage ports. |

10/3/2009 - Bunbury wrote: 89 pointsWow, this was still quite good, and held up after opening. Very balanced, with subtle cedar and pencil lead tones, and plush red fruit. Not jammy, more traditional in style, at least at this advanced age. |

2005 Jim Barry Shiraz The Lodge HillClare Valley more |
12/27/2008 - Bunbury wrote: 91 pointsThis is a serious ly terrific Shiraz. Not overripe or a fruit bomb, and balanced despite the alcohol level. An absolute steal at the price I paid. I've have Australian Shiraz at five times the price that wasn't as good. |

7/13/2008 - Bunbury wrote: 89 pointsDecanted for 2-3 hours before drinking. Still seemed closed. After time in the glass it opened up some, was very nice with some complex, earthy notes. Somewhat austere, either the fruit is hiding or it isn't there. Expected more from a 2000 Pauilac. |
